Saturday morning geek break. Is there life on Mars? Yeah there might be! I kid you not!

Scientists have found more evidence of possible life on Mars.

NASA announced Thursday that its researchers and university scientists found methane in the Red Planet's atmosphere. The finding suggests biological or geological activity.

NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility and the W.M. Keck telescope showed prisms that separate white light into a rainbow and showed three lines that indicate the presence of methane.

"Methane is quickly destroyed in the Martian atmosphere in a variety of ways, so our discovery of substantial plumes of methane in the northern hemisphere of Mars in 2003 indicates some ongoing process is releasing the gas," Michael Mumma of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., said in a statement.

"Right now, we do not have enough information to tell whether biology or geology -- or both -- is producing the methane on Mars," Mumma explained. "But it does tell us the planet is still alive, at least in a geologic sense. It is as if Mars is challenging us, saying, 'Hey, find out what this means.' "

NASA said that if microscopic organisms produce methane, they are likely far below the surface, where it's warm enough for water to remain in a liquid state. Water, carbon, and energy sources are necessary for all known forms of life.

OH......MY......GOD!!

If you could see me now you would see a man whose jaw is literally dragging on the ground.

This is absolutely amazing news!

I told one of my fellow bloggers just yesterday, that THIS was the kind of story that I wanted to post about, instead of Sarah Palin updates, because it really puts everything else in perspective.

If you think about it THIS could change everything about how we see our planet, see ourselves, and see the possibilities for our future. Science, religion, and philosophy could all be in for a sound shaking up if this information proves to be factual.

Simply amazing.
